A Powerful, Insightful Tool for Database Health and Performance Monitoring
What do you like best about the product?
SolarWinds Database Observability provides deep visibility into database performance with an intuitive and user-friendly interface. I especially appreciate the real-time query monitoring, wait time analysis, and query plan visualizations, which make it easy to identify performance bottlenecks quickly. The tool supports multiple database platforms (e.g., SQL Server, Oracle, MySQL, PostgreSQL), which is valuable in a heterogeneous environment. The customisable dashboards and alerting features are another highlight, allowing proactive monitoring and reducing the time to resolution.
What do you dislike about the product?
While the feature set is robust, the initial setup and configuration can be a bit complex
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
SolarWinds Database Observability is helping us solve the critical challenge of database performance visibility and root cause analysis. In the past, identifying slow-running queries, lock contention, or unusual spikes in resource usage required a lot of manual investigation and DBA expertise. With SolarWinds, we now get real-time insights into query performance, wait events, and system metrics, all in a single pane of glass.
Streamlined Database Monitoring with SolarWinds Database Observability
What do you like best about the product?
As a long-time IT administrator, finding the right observability tool that offers both depth and usability can be a challenge. SolarWinds Database Observability delivers on both fronts. From the moment we integrated it into our systems, it became clear that this solution was built with real-world database environments in mind.
What do you dislike about the product?
There were some issue integrating some existing products SolarWinds, but I was able to resolve those issue with little difficulty . If you’re already in the SolarWinds ecosystem, the observability suite only enhances what you can do, without adding complexity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
What stands out most is the platform’s intuitive UI and comprehensive visibility across hybrid and multi-cloud environments. It resolved a major issue we encounter: monitoring PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Oracle, or MySQL, the tool provides unified insights into performance metrics, wait times, slow queries, and resource bottlenecks—all from a single dashboard.
we use SWinds for interface tracking and circuits up/down
What do you like best about the product?
availablility to view and monitor critical circuits
What do you dislike about the product?
length of time to login in Solarwinds is terrible.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
viewing and real time scalability and governance of our wide area network
Network Visibility - Difficult Reporting
What do you like best about the product?
SolarWinds was able to provide the visibility we needed to identify network issues and outages in real-time.
The node details are extensive and the ability to monitor all network devices and interfaces
Integrations with different vendors and products are good for our environment.
Once the product is setup, there is not a lot of maintenance needed so it is hands off until we either need to update nodes, alerts, or adjust new reports.

What do you dislike about the product?
There were some odd issues that occurred during implementation that extended our timeline. Their support was able to resolve, it just took a lot of additional time and there was still difficulty with setting up the service accounts needed.
The reporting functionality was difficult to understand. We were attempting to create a very basic report and was not very intuitive to create. Even after attending several webinars and contacting support, we still had to make additional tweaks to obtain our desired output.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Visibility into our network availability, especially when there is no IT on-site to observe connectivity in real-time.
Smarter database performance adjustments over time
What do you like best about the product?
The most significant advantage of Database Observability is the ability to monitor the long term changes in the databases’ activity. It makes it possible to identify workload changes over time and this can assist in proper allocation of resources. It is run in parallel with scheduling systems so that background processes do not interfere with peak times. This has helped to minimize disruptions and other such issues that would slow down the operations of the company.
What do you dislike about the product?
A disadvantage of Database Observability is that it produces a high number of alerts for minor fluctuations in performance. However, having many alerts for minor changes is not very useful as it makes it difficult to identify genuine issues. Also, tuning the alert settings requires some time and if not well done, it results in many distractions. These issues have at one time or another hindered our capacity to handle emergent database problems.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our team uses Database Observability to stop unnecessary resource expenditure by finding repetitive processing operations that require excessive power. Through these optimizations we achieved better work balance throughout the day for our system by optimizing queries and background processes. Observability of database operations enables us to discover inefficient patterns at the right time which helps lower operational expenses while improving time responses for critical programs. Due to our ongoing implementation of the system we could shift our attention toward business priorities instead of continuously solving system slowdowns.
very good DB monitoring tool for issues and performance analysis
What do you like best about the product?
Performances analysis and alerting for any issue
What do you dislike about the product?
to write queries into the tool , this is not recommended from security prospective
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
give a helpful recommendation for heavy queries
Data Observability Tool Review
What do you like best about the product?
With Rakuten SixthSense Data Observability tool, data issues alerting has become very easy. The tool is very easy to use & integrate with other tools like Snowflake etc. Love the comprehensive dashboard for tracking all data metrics.
What do you dislike about the product?
new features & integrations should be added now i feel. Rest is all good.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
With this tool of Rakuten SixthSense, we are getting good data quality, better data freshness & the data pipeline monitoring is also improved. Better data & quality decisionss can be taken now leading to increase in company benefits.
Database Observability finally stopped our endless database performance issues
What do you like best about the product?
I enjoy using the Database Observability because it shows us our database performance data. Our team struggled with too many database logs and performance numbers until now. Viewing trends and database issues has become easy. Our database performance data appears on a single display screen. Our time increases because it gives us notice when database issues may become hard to solve. Database Observability detected a slow query before it could create a performance bottleneck. Our quick action prevented a disastrous system slowdown from happening. This tool helps us avoid problems by detecting them first. Our team saves three hours per week because we use its detailed reports during our weekly meetings.
What do you dislike about the product?
The waiting time for data synchronization creates annoying delays. Our troubleshooting process hit a delay because the data needed time to sync. Database Observability often shows technical problems during use and I faced several times when the app interface froze so I needed to restart the application. The delay in syncing causes minor problems but does not prevent you from working.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Our database system handles problem detection faster than before. Past observations of events always came too late to prevent damage from materializing. Our system now detects and addresses issues automatically without making it to our users. Thanks to Database Observability our database system operates with greater initiative than before. Our weak view into database performance now has a successful solution.
